1[st] Copmanthorpe Scout Group
Group Chair Annual Report 2024/25.
Hello all,
Another great year for the Copmanthorpe Scout group. This year we have embedded the Squirrels to the already successful Group.
We have visibly seen the group at the village carnival and celebrate Remembrance Day in our village church, it was great to see the group looking their best as they marched through the village to the war memorial.
We are fortunate as a group we have leaders that make our group a place young members want to join, learn, and have fun. We continue to be in a healthy financial position which has allowed us to support activities; however, with the group the size we become very aware that our finances need careful management.
In the coming year we need to look for further support to supplement the trustees we have as this will give the group the strategic direction the group needs.
We are working on our next 5-year plan with sustainability being a focus area.
Lastly and most importantly I would like to thank all the leaders, helpers, exec committee, parents and young members that make the scout group the success that it has become and one that our young people can benefit from being part of.
Thanks,
Stephen
Stephen Hind, Group Chair
